Mossless has put out just two issues of its magazine, and for its third issue, the new photography publishing outfit is putting out a book–a very large book. With 550 photographs by more than 100 American photographers, it will fill more than 280 pages. It might be the largest independent photography publication ever made.

If it gets made. Mossless founder and editor Romke Hoogwaerts wants your help. Together with his partner Grace Leigh, Hoogwaerts launched launched a Kickstarter to raise $25,000, and as of Wednesday afternoon had raised about half that. The pitch is creating an unprecedented tour of the U.S. through photos.

"We strung together the carefully selected works of over 100 photographers into one sequence; we hope this elicits the experience of taking a journey through the country," says Hoogwaerts.

The size isn't the result of a Napoleon complex or even really the desire to make a cannonball-sized splash. The monster page count comes from a need to showcase the sheer amount of smart contemporary American photography – images that all too often only exist online.

"We didn't want the photography we saw online to go unrecognized by a larger audience. A lot of it is as powerful as the photography we grew up admiring," says Hoogwaerts. "We also the book inspires people to explore the world of photography online a little deeper. The way we look at photographs has changed dramatically and we wanted to address that."

Not only does Mossless do behemoth edits, it does behemoth previews. Here's 11 minutes of Issue #3 in its most edited current form.
